Striped Circle Quilt

I just finished up this quilt that I made for my soon-to-be little boy:

I love how this came out! I think the colors are so fun--I didn't want the typical baby blue-tan-pastel green colors you always see (come on, no guys actually like baby blue, do they?), so I went with a yellow, orange, and teal scheme instead. The circles are set into the quilt, not raw-edge appliqued (so there won't be any frayed edges over time).You know I can't resist details on the back . . . this little patchwork stripe carries over the stripes from the front.Although I'm not putting this one up for sale, I had so much fun making it that I'd love to do another :-)

You pick the colors and I'll re-create it for you! I just love how fun and modern this quilt is--I can't wait to snuggle up my little man in it.
